Frank E Gibbard Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Numerologists get off on numbers Naturally, you needn’t go figure. Poets put quality before quantity Being wedded to apt word order. They see this world figuratively, In a calculated fashion to sum up How they enumerate Xs and whys That confront you and me in the big Human equation of our relativity.

waxwings Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I must admit that using apt beats the right/best used by past greats in a similar context. It is not bull headed but right on the spot but only nigh perfect , because shouldn't X's and whys (Frank, you clever man) confront me not I?" I think not using "me" you miss a sweet and merely incidental inner rhyme w/ "relativity". A part time mathematician I was tickled but good. Thanks, Frank, for the quirky fun.

Tinker Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hah! Funny I just had to read this poem with an British accent. That never occured to me before when reading your poems Frank... I thoroughly enjoyed this read. ~~Tinker Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
